Enable kiosk mode

Use the Photobooth Setup Wizard first: 7 Misc → 1 Autostart and shortcut. If you need manual steps, use the OS-specific guidance below.

Autostart on Pi OS Bookworm (Wayland/labwc by default)

Create ~/.config/labwc/autostart (or add to the existing [autostart] section):

[autostart]
chromium --kiosk --disable-features=Translate --noerrdialogs --disable-infobars --no-first-run --ozone-platform=wayland --touch-events=enabled --start-maximized http://localhost

For Wayland/Wayfire, edit ~/.config/wayfire.ini:

[autostart]
chromium = chromium-browser --kiosk --disable-features=Translate --noerrdialogs --disable-infobars --no-first-run --ozone-platform=wayland --touch-events=enabled --start-maximized http://localhost

Autostart on Pi OS Bullseye and earlier

Create /etc/xdg/autostart/photobooth.desktop:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.3
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Name=Photobooth
Exec=chromium-browser --noerrdialogs --disable-infobars --disable-features=Translate --no-first-run --check-for-update-interval=31536000 --kiosk http://localhost --touch-events=enabled --use-gl=egl
Icon=/var/www/html/resources/img/favicon-96x96.png
StartupNotify=false
Terminal=false

Adjust the kiosk URL and icon path if Photobooth is in a subdirectory (e.g. http://localhost/photobooth and /var/www/html/photobooth/resources/img/favicon-96x96.png). The --use-gl=egl flag is primarily for Raspberry Pi; remove it if it causes issues on other hardware.
